Alex Jones is a bottom feeder among bottom feeders. It’s everyone’s right to listen to and believe whatever they want, but categorically, empirically, Jones is a scumbag conman who peddles snake oil and dangerous, violent conspiracies like pizzagate. For years, Alex has made his living riling up ignorant and easily gullible people, spinning every tragedy […] More
As you may or may not know, NASA offered a challenge for anyone to build a crewed moon lander. And according to reporting from Teslarati, SpaceX is throwing their hat in the ring. NASA plans to send humans back to the surface of the moon no earlier than 2028, using a rocket that has yet-to-be assembled, […] More
While poking around NASA’s website to write my obituary for the Mars Opportunity mission, I stumbled across something that should lift all our spirits: Valentine’s Day cards from outer space! Get this heroic Catstronaut on an all-over print shirt, tank top, hoodie, and more, only available in our store! Yes, I’m aware that Valentine’s Day […] More
Today, NASA is expected to officially announce what we’ve all been suspecting since last summer. NASA’s Mars Opportunity rover is officially dead. Edit to update: NASA has released an official statement saying that Oppy is dead. Goodnight, sweet prince. It’s been eight months since we last heard from Opportunity. That last communication came just as […] More
Fans of Adult Swim’s animated smash hit “Rick and Morty” have been desperate for news of when the show’s fourth season will debut since the end of the third season in 2017. Since its inception, the show — which is hilariously inspired by Doc and Marty of “Back to the Future” fame — has enjoyed […] More
Yesterday, I was happily scrolling through my Facebook feed when I happened upon a post by The Atlantic that made me audibly say “what the fuck?” Sorry Betteridge, I believe “what the fuck” is the only reasonable response to this headline. Not wanting to judge or comment on an article before reading it, I took the time […] More
Another week, another viral “story” going around with a headline that doesn’t quite match the actual story. A few weeks ago, the internet lost its collective mind over #SmirkGate and again just last week with #NeesonGate. And because the internet apparently has an extremely short term memory when it comes to being duped by misleading headlines, […] More
The measles outbreak up in the pacific northwest is bringing to light just how urgent a public health crises the anti-vaxxer movement is. Somehow, there are some Americans who have gotten so well-educated, and have gotten just comfortable enough financially to take super-dumb risks with their children’s health that the overwhelming majority of their grandparents […] More
Over the weekend, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota announced her candidacy in the 2020 presidential election, in the middle of a snow storm. A day later, America’s premier climate scientist — President Donald Trump — took to Twitter to explain why she should’ve waited to make her announcement because her points about global warming were […] More
Revenge may be a dish that’s best served cold, but the El Paso Zoo thinks it might also be best served as a cockroach. You read that right. As reported by CBS News, this February 14th, you can send the zoo in El Paso, Texas your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend’s name and they’ll christen a cockroach in their […] More
In the pacific northwest a measles outbreak is underway, and I’m not saying that Jenny McCarthy is responsible; I’m just here to point out that a few years ago she was the celebrity spokesmodel for the anti-vaxx movement. I’m not saying that McCarthy is criminally liable; just morally…at least a little. Remember — the measles […] More
Personally, I try to think about my death and mortality as little as possible. I don’t know what that means for someone who is 38 years old, I just know that for my own piece of mind, the more contemplate life, death, and anything before or after, I get a little too angsty for my […] More
